The MX870’s exhibition is more than sufficient for a little office. On both our PC and Mac test stages, plain-content pages developed at a pace of 6.2 pages every moment. Shading pages arrived at the midpoint of 1.8 ppm on the PC and just shy of 0.5 ppm on the Mac. Likewise on the Mac, examining a 7.5-by-9.9-inch photograph at 600 spots for each inch arrived at the midpoint of around 45 seconds, while filtering a 4-by-6-inch photograph at 1200 dpi took around 90 seconds. Shading prints on both plain and photograph paper had rich, smooth shading, and content pages looked dark and sharp.

Canon sells a Bluetooth connector (BU-30) for $50.

The Pixma MX870 has a different ink cartridge for each shading. The shade dark (PGI-520BK) costs $22.95 and is specced to keep going for 324 pages, or 7.08 pennies per page. The cyan, fuchsia, and yellow CLI-521 cartridges cost $22.95 each and should keep going for 510 to 535 pages every, which works out to about 4.4 pennies per shading per page. The CLI-521 photograph dark will goes on for around 725 6x4in photographs, by Canon’s retribution.
